RS 5 rotors on a C6 ???

[Golfather]

THey look more like 21's in the Shop mate !
I think you may lose some of the effect when you get them on.

but, with 44ET ... what does that mean vs. 36ET ?

The ET is how they measure (in mm) the wheels "offset" which is the distance between the inside face of the wheel that attaches to the car's hub and the middle of the wheel. So if you went from 36 to 44mm offset (with the same width wheel) the increased offset would make for 8mm more clerance inside the wheel and the wheel would stick out an extra 8mm, the same effect as adding 8mm spacers to the car.

D.K have a play about on this.

Try this one http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

If you have two wheels that are both 9 inches wide, one is ET 45 the other ET 35. The offset is measured in mm. which means theres a 1 cm./10 mm. difference in offset between the two wheels. The lower the offset the further out the wheel will sit. The wheels with ET 35 will therefore sit 1 cm. (45-35=10mm=1cm) further out than the ET45. If you put a 10 mm. space on the ET 45 wheel it will fit identical to the ET 35.

Any decisions yet D_K? I'm interested in changing my wheels also as I don't think the 7 spoke RS4 style wheels really suit the RS6, not beefy enough for the car. So far it's only the originally 5 spoke ones that are doing it for me but interested to see how a set of RS5 rotors work out.

im just gonna do mine in titan like yours and leave it

Fair enough. Probably work better on the Phantom Grey then they do with mine. They seem to disappear a bit when you step back from the car if that makes sense. Look good up close but don't think they are beefy enough for the big 6.

see its funny ... on the first pic, i thought the front looks good, but the rear looks rubbish

now on the 2nd pic it does look good

but yes it needs lowering

golf - whats the deal with MTM springs?

also, shame they are only 9J

We can now supply and fit the Kw lowing kit that allows us to keep the DRC ....

Are you fitting it to yours? Rule 1.

how much Grizz ?

tempted for when you do my sparks (how much for those also!)

[Mr V10]

Grizz is developing C6 exhuast sorted too as the Milltek isn't loud enough, may as well do all three whilst you're there DK.

[Mr V10]
